Tasting Notes

Poggio Concezione® Winery has adopted a holistic and byodinamic approach to winemaking. All our wines are made from grapes we grow organically. So we emphasize a natural approach to winemaking.
Poggio Concezione® organic wines are made with raw fermentation, wild yeasts and a long refining time.
Hand harvested grapes are placed in small crates and collected directly in the winery; the crop is softly crushed; then the most goes into stainless steel tanks; within 15-24 hour raw fermentations starts naturally. After starting raw fermentation, we separate peeling from must but only for white wine. These are important, laborious, and expensive processes.
Our white wines are completely dry because after first fermentation (in which wild yeasts consume all must sugar) they have an additional one called Malolactic Fermentation (MLF). This process gives our wines elegance, roundness and an unmistakable style.
As we do not use any animal products our wines are available for Vegans too.
All our wines are made with care, love and time. They are alive and, once in your glass, they need to slowly unfold.
Please do not use a decanter and let the wine breathe.
Trust your senses and play with the wide range of wine pairing. Enjoy it. Cheers!

Vine: Sangiovese Grosso 85%; Ciliegiolo 15%. The vineyard producing our Sangiovese is the youngest of POGGIO CONEZIONE estate: it was planted in February, 2004. This is the reason why we called our wine Fanciôt®: it means “young boy” in Piedmontese dialect. (The family members of POGGIO CONCEZIONE estate come from Piedmont). This wine will age gracefully for at least another decade, if you don’t drink it at all, but don’t forget how you store this wine will affect how long it lasts.
